He began on his clay journey picking up the rudiments of pottery from a few acclaimed instructors, before enrolling in and graduating with distinction from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1996, followed by a BFA from Curtin University of Technology in 1999, specializing in Ceramics. Since then, Low has taught ceramics at his local alma mater and conducted numerous workshops and master classes over the years.

Inspired by his love for nature and the universe, Low's Planet series seeks to channel the energy of the cosmos, to spur the imagination to contemplate the inner depths and beauty of the universe.
